Rare images have been released of North Korea's nuclear facility at Yongbyon, which is in the process of being disabled as part of an denuclearisation deal.

Pyongyang agreed to shut down the reactor and remove fuel rods in exchange for international aid and diplomatic concessions.

US researchers were given rare access to the facility in February, and were shown some of the equipment packaged for removal.

There are also by-products to remove, such as these bags of uranium trioxide.

The international community fears North Korea was using the plant as part of a secret weapons programme, something Pyongyang denies.

Observers from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have closely monitored the denuclearisation process, and cameras have been installed to keep watch.

US officials say one quarter of the reactor's fuel rods have already been removed, with the rest due to be taken out by August.

While progress has definitely been made, the denuclearisation process has been far from smooth.

North Korea missed a year-end deadline for submitting full details of its nuclear programme, and has still not given enough information to satisfy the US.

But North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has insisted that his country remains committed to the international deal.

5메가와트 원자로의 냉각탑은 완전히 해체된 상태였고 핵연료봉 생산시설도 상당부분 파기됐습니다.
영변 5메가와트 원자로의 냉각탑입니다.
냉각탑 내부에 설치됐던 냉각과 증발장치는 이미 제거됐고 탑 하부도 각종 시설을 떼어내 아무런 설비도 남지 않았습니다.

사용 후 핵연료봉 재처리시설, 이른바 방사화학실험실에서도 각종 저장용장비가 포장된 채 치져 있고 사용 후 핵연료봉을 운반하던 두 대의 기중기도 철거됐습니다.

핵연료봉 생산설비의 일부인 우라늄 정제공장에서 떼어낸 단열벽돌과 모래가 쌓여 있고 우라늄 광석을 녹이던 용해탱크가 있던 자리는 커다란 웅덩이 남아 있습니다.

공장 한켠에는 또 가공단계를 거치지 않은 5톤 가량의 삼산화우라늄도 쌓여 있습니다.
북한이 2.13합의에 따라 불능화하기로 한 영변 5메가와트 원자로와 방사화학실험실, 핵연료봉제조공장 등에서 실제 불능화 작업이 진척되고 있음을 보여주는 증거입니다.

이번 불능화 관련사을 공개한 헤커 박사는 영변 핵시설 불능화에 있어 북미 양측 기술진의 협력이 잘 이루어지고 있다며 긍정적인 평가를 내놓았습니다.
